Random 10 for Aug. 22, 2008
1. General Public, “I’ll Take You There”
2. Sun Volt, “Drown”
3. The Pretenders, “Thumbelina”
4. Bruce Springsteen, “Growin’ Up”
Another early Springsteen classic from his first record, way back in 1973: “I pushed B-52 and bombed ‘em with the blues / With my gear set stubborn on standing / Broke all the rules, strafed my old high school / Never once gave thought to landing / I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd / But when they said “come down” I threw up ..” OK, so it’s not exactly ”Catcher in the Rye,” but it’s fun to sing along to.
5. Siouxsie & The Banshees, “Fireworks”
6. The Boomtown Rats, “Rat Trap”
